Honey, it sure looks like Kamala is giving you Bootsy Collins. The trouble is when you take Bootsy, it won't be your band anymore and you will owe Kamala and her gang a big favor.
Why on earth would you be able to get Bootsy? It's because you are bigger than Bootsy. It's because you are MY girl. It's because you are not just you anymore, you are also me. So follow my instructions, Honey: slow the fuck down. Be grateful to God and savor the small community you've created with the resources you already have. You've already given Kamala your endorsement, so she has nothing to worry about.
I'll have you know that I've never heard your stream. I don't even know what the address is because you don't publish it. Also Mary is attention consuming, so I can't do anything else within that time. So it took me this long to realize that you weren't being upbeat with the music. If I were you, I would be frustrated and irritated. But also if I were you, I would have put metal to that singing from the beginning. Or jazz. And of course, funk.
You do need a kick ass bass player, and I recommend Kinga Głyk. I understand that she recently got into an accident right before the release of her latest album. If that were true (confirm), then she will need stability and might just join you. She's in Poland, though. To get Kinga, you will need her agreement, to sponsor her visa, to get her a plane ticket, a place to live and an income. She does have her own material, so she could add to your streaming revenue. Also, she could teach you a great deal about music. Bonus: she also plays an red EB-3 bass!
But if you can't get Kinga, then it doesn't matter! Just keep doing what you're already doing. In your case, the funk begins with you.
